A little behind the scenes from the wonderful Pera Palace.

Adam composed a special piece inspired by Agatha Christie and her little Belgian detective... especially for that sequence. It's called “The Woman in Room 411”.

Listen out for it in the video.

Find out why in the new video, out later today...

We only started The Floating Nomads back in June this year and we’re genuinely blown away by how you’ve taken to our story.

Thanks for the support. We’ve got loads planned for 2026 💙

Storm Claudia is coming. We’re racing our narrowboat away from the woods and really don’t want a repeat of last winter’s “trapped by fallen trees” saga.

We brought back this GORGEOUS dual espresso mokka back from our travels in Italy.

It’s definitely cheering us up on cold mornings. ❤️

Venice's Bridge of the Dead: rebuilt for just the second time since the 1950s.

Once a yearly passage to the cemetery island of San Michele for All Souls' Day, now a haunting reminder of how this city still honours its dead.

The canals definitely need this.

I could probably do without it today though…

We discovered an absolute GEM of a coworking space in Valletta today. We spent 6 hours there getting on with some work, everyone was lovely and it didn’t cost us a penny! #digitalnomads
